16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/13/2016. Pours slightly hazy golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big peach, apricot, pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, papaya, passion fruit, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, light honey, cracker, biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fantastic aromas with awesome complexity and balance of bright/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge peach, apricot, pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, papaya, passion fruit, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, light honey, cracker, biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/citrus rind/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of peach, apricot, pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, papaya, passion fruit, mango, melon, lemon/orange rind, pepper, pine, cracker, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/sticky/resinous, and lightly creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is fairly well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is a incredible DIPA! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Masha and the Bear, Brooklyn tap: golden with a white head. Aroma is resinous pine, grapefruit, and a lot of sugar. Taste is sweet kind of. Low bitterness. Lots of body. Not too sweet. Pretty nice.
